I am buying an Ultrex trolling motor for my 2001 Nitro 911 CDC in the near future and will need to install a bigger recess tray for the larger Ultrex pedal. Which tray works best in a Nitro? I currently have a 24 volt trolling motor. Should I step up to the 36 volt? Thanks for any suggestions.

Found the recess on e-bay for about $80. Removed the front panel to check for wiring and clearance. Taped out the location with masking tape made the cut with a good jig saw. Had recently replaced carpet and had enough left over to carpet the recess. Just didn’t want to step on black medal in SE Ga during the summer! I up graded to an 80 lb Minn Kota and it moves my boat much better than the original 70 did. I contemplated going to a 36 volt but didn’t want the extra weight and expense. And yes it was nerve racking cutting into the deck but all went well Good luck with your project.

Don, did your boat have any fiberglass braces you had to cut out? My 911 CDC has a fiberglass brace on both sides of the tray that runs from the front of the boat back to a bulkhead that runs across the bow right behind the back seat pedestal holes. I’m scared to cut those braces out to install a recessed tray.
